Yura and Menma are more of the Grey-and-Gray Morality range, as Yura, a Sunagakure native, was revealed to be a sleeper agent for Sasori but was nonetheless loyal to Sunagakure, and Menma was a filler character who inflicted Laser-Guided Amnesia on himself after taking part in the slaughter of a village, and at the end of his arc pulled a Redemption Equals Death when that effort failed. Sumaru was a filler character and native of Hoshigakure who started out rude and aloof, but later became a friend to Naruto. Yagura, while having a reputation as a bloodthirsty leader during his time as the Fourth Mizukage, was later revealed to have been manipulated from behind the scenes, and wasn't really genuinely evil at all. Chojuro, Darui and Kurotsuchi (of the Hidden Mist, Hidden Cloud and Hidden Stone villages, respectively) were allies of Konoha during said war. Matsuri was a love interest for Gaara and also joined him and his siblings as an ally to Konoha and the other villages during the Fourth Great Ninja War. note Gaara, Kankuro and Temari started out as antagonists during the Chuunin Exam arc but later underwent a Heelв‰Їace Turn and became allies of Konoha, with Gaara in particular becoming one of Naruto's closest friends. Adaptational Villainy: Just about every member of LOVE, particularly those who make up the Council of the Dawn, was on the heroes' side in canon.
